A unit of volume in the imperial system. The symbol is bu. It comes from boissel, a form of the Old French unit of grain, boisse. In England, the liquid and dry units are the same, and since 1824, an imperial bushel has been defined as 8 imperial gallons or about 36,375.31 cm3 . In the United States, the bushel is used only for dry measurements. A US bushel is about 35,245.38 cm3 and is considered to be the equivalent of the Winchester bushel, a unit used in England from the 15th century to 1824. A US bushel is equal to 4 pecks, or 32 dry quarts. Two bushels make up the unit of strike. In 1912, the US Customs Court defined a "heaped bushel" as about 45,035.04 cm3 for measuring apples. Since the 13th century, bushels of various sizes and weights have existed in the British Isles to represent the goods being bought, sold, or transported. Bushel |
ヤード・ポンド法の体積の単位。記号は bu。古フランス語で穀物の単位である boisseの変化形 boisselを語源とする。イギリスでは,液量単位と乾量単位は同じで,1824年以降,1英ブッシェルは 8英ガロンあるいは約 36375.31cm3と定められてきた。アメリカ合衆国では,ブッシェルは乾量計測のみに用いられる。1米ブッシェルは約 35245.38cm3で,イギリスで 15世紀から 1824年まで使用されていた単位ウィンチェスター・ブッシェルに相当すると考えられている。1米ブッシェルは 4ペック,あるいは 32乾量クォートと等しい。2ブッシェルはストライクという単位を構成する。1912年にアメリカ関税裁判所は,リンゴの分量の測定用に「山盛り 1ブッシェル」を約 45035.04cm3と定義した。ブリティシュ諸島では 13世紀以来,売買されたり運搬されたりする商品ごとにさまざまな体積や重さのブッシェルが存在した。
